True blessing is the gift that transforms, leading us into His likeness. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me!

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

⏤ Romans 6:18

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

⏤ Psalm 51:10

True blessing is the gift that transforms, leading us into His likeness.

The Mornings with God App was great today! It was talking a lot about sin. Sin, something most people never want you to talk about. God forbid, they don't like judgement, they come up with so many excuses for sin and hate, trying to justify it all the time. I think it is best to recognize sin, so many today, a lot and prosperity ministers, they just put a positive spin on the Bible, making it all positive and about gaining money and material things, but we can have so much more than that, Heaven when we recognize our sin and turn from it and follow Jesus and try to be like Him! This is what I lived about the App readings today I shared below. Get the App, read it daily, it has the best information, it has great Bible verses, write-ups, reflections, like here, and quotes. We need to turn from sin, we need to imitate Jesus more and love like Him!

The Mornings With God App today said, "Father, we ask for Your true blessing this morning. Let it come into our lives and make us more like Jesus. May it become a source of life within us, causing us to hate sin more and to love what is right and good. May it leave a deeper mark of Jesus upon us, imprinting His image more clearly in our hearts. We want to carry Your blessing with us throughout the day. May it help us love You more, follow You better, and serve You more faithfully. We ask You, as we always do, to forgive our sins and cleanse our hearts and lives. We know we’re not worthy to receive any blessings from You, but You are gracious and merciful. We come to You, trusting that our sins will be blotted out when we truly confess and repent of them. Give us the grace of true repentance, so we can receive Your forgiveness and peace. We want to leave our sins behind and not keep repeating them. Help us to put them away for good. If we’ve wronged anyone, give us the grace to make it right. If we’ve taken anything that doesn’t belong to us, help us to return it. May our faith make us honest and truthful, just and righteous. Save us from a faith that doesn’t change our lives. May our faith go deep into our hearts, cleansing and transforming us, and leading us to live in a way that honors You. We pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen."

The Mornings With God App today said, "We all have to serve someone. If we’re not serving one master, we’re serving another. Becoming a Christian is about switching masters—it’s leaving behind the rule of sin and accepting the leadership of Christ. Paul explains it this way: “Being made free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.” Paul himself was an example of this. On his way to Damascus, full of hatred towards Christians, he suddenly encountered a glorious, divine presence. “Who are you?” he asked. “I am Jesus, the one you’re persecuting,” was the reply. In that instant, Paul realized the terrible mistake he had been making and immediately submitted his life to the one he had been opposing. He had a new Master, and his entire life was now devoted to serving Him. Too many people, when they come to Christ, don’t bring their whole life with them. But Paul did, and that’s what everyone who follows Christ should do. We should be as passionate in our Christian service as we once were in serving the world."
